Lincoln suddenly guessed why Cleveland said this.
But when the truth came out, he felt that the world was dark and cruel.
[American Yingzong Cleveland: It seems that President Lincoln, you may have guessed something. Please calm down first. Let me talk about these reasons first, and you can see if they are correct. 】
Seeing Lincoln's reaction in the group, Cleveland probably knew that Lincoln's mentality was somewhat unbalanced.
Therefore, he directly answered everyone's questions without waiting for Lincoln's reaction.
[American Yingzong Cleveland: Why do I say that? The following is just my opinion. First, this civil war is a civil war among our own people. President Lincoln also said at the dedication ceremony of the Gettysburg Memorial Cemetery... Those who fought on this land, living and dead, all We are citizens of the United States. 】
[In this civil war, from the beginning to the end, out of the 3.5 million people who participated in the war, 750,000 soldiers were killed, 400,000 soldiers were disabled, and an incalculable number of civilians were killed. We later estimated that there were about 8 million people. died or were disabled as a result of this war. 】
[The civil war has been won, and we are one country again. 】
[Who will be responsible for the dead? Living people, how can they resolve the hatred and resentment they have gathered? 】
As soon as this reason came out, everyone in the crowd was undoubtedly punched in the heart, especially the people from the United States.
Yes, strictly speaking, these were chosen by their own people.
Even Zhu Houzhao thought of Sheng Yong and Tie Xuan during the Battle of Jingnan!
Tie Xuan was executed by Taizong Lingchi, and Sheng Yong also chose to commit suicide.
Excluding the factors of civil war, they were the best generals of the Ming Dynasty.
Then there was another heavyweight, Xu Da's son Wei Guogong Xu Huizu, who was liquidated afterwards because he sided with Zhu Yunwen and did not support Zhu Di. He eventually died in the fifth year of Yongle, at the age of forty.
The cause of death remains a mystery.
Did they do anything wrong?
From the perspective of the entire Ming Dynasty, there is nothing wrong.
But if the position is wrong, the winner will be the winner and the loser in the end.
In addition to these high-ranking people, what about the common people who suffered from military disasters during the crisis?
Probably as many as eight million people were affected.
What's wrong with them?
Starting from this point, Zhu Houzhao could barely understand why Lincoln died. If he had some conscience and truly served the country and the people, there was indeed only one way left for him.
[American Taizu Washington: This civil war is more tragic than we imagined. So many people...so much hatred...】
With this alone, Washington felt speechless.
[American Yingzong Cleveland: The second reason is...the privileged class in the South! They still have the strength to fight. This war has caused considerable damage to their property. They have many seats and political parties behind them. If the Republican Party wants them to truly admit defeat or be convinced and continue to lead the United States, a complete America... they must also show enough sincerity. 】
Cleveland went on to give the second reason. As soon as this reason came out... Jackson, Washington, and Jefferson all fell silent.
Because the first reason above is high-sounding, this reason is the truth!
black! dirty!
So fucking dark.
This is politics!
[American Yingzong Cleveland: The third reason is... within the Republican Party, will they allow a president whose authority is enough to threaten them to exist? What's more... President Lincoln did not show enough opinions in liquidating the southern states after the war. He was neither a radical liquidator nor a conservative liquidator. He wanted to be a middleman? 】
There was a lot of sarcasm in Cleveland's words.
[American Yingzong Cleveland: As for the last reason, it is also ridiculous. President Lincoln... he came from a humble background and did not have enough power or big names to protect him. Killing him would not stir up any waves. Probably just have to endure the abuse from some ignorant people...]
The chat group has suddenly become a one-man show in Cleveland.
[Mercy Lincoln: Stop talking! Cleveland! do not talk! I beg you, stop talking! 】
Lincoln was finally torn off all pretense and was completely struck down by the cold and dark reality.
His so-called ideals and dreams were completely shattered under the iron fist of this cruel reality.
This truth was like a sharp knife, cutting him into Ling Chi, and all the will to safeguard national interests was blatantly shattered at this moment.
[American Xuanzong Cleveland: Sorry... President Lincoln, this is just my personal speculation. The world is not necessarily so bad. What's bad, maybe the actor himself is too evil, or maybe it's really just his personal behavior. 】
[ Mercer Lincoln: Stop it, don’t say it. I beg you. 】
After Lincoln said this, Zhu Houzhao noticed that his profile picture dimmed.
[Supreme group leader: Lincoln is offline. 】
He reminded me. At this time, for some reason, he felt heavy.
Not because of Lincoln, but because he suddenly thought of the death of Tianshun Yingzong Zhu Qizhen and the death of his grandfather Xianzong Zhu Jianshen, it seemed...
Somewhat similar to these reasons why Lincoln must die.
In the eighth year of Tianshun, thirty-eight-year-old Zhu Qizhen died unexpectedly.
Beishou survived for one year, and Nangong remained imprisoned for seven years. However, he died after being emperor for another eight years.
One thing to say is that when Tianshun was in power, his various methods of seizing power were very sophisticated, and I don't know how many times more powerful than when he was young.
However, he died suddenly.
besides……
His grandfather, Chenghua Emperor Zhu Jianshen, used various means to tightly hold power in his hands, making the civil servants desperate for life.
Then, in the 23rd year of Chenghua's reign, Wan Zhen'er died exactly half a year ago, and she also died soon after.
Then he was replaced and raised by the harem. His father, who had a cowardly personality, became the emperor. He responded to the ministers and lived peacefully for eighteen years. Then he died in a strange way.
Recently...Zhu Houzhao discovered that the death of his father and grandfather seemed not that simple.
He died at the hands of the same imperial physician Liu Wentai.
He had previously planned to investigate Liu Wentai severely, and then planned to use this to set off a major case, and took advantage of the situation to take power.
That’s why we need psychological comfort in front of the memorial tablets of our ancestors.
At this time...as soon as Lincoln's reasons for death came out, Zhu Houzhao even broke out in a cold sweat.
It seems okay that he is not in power, but that he is in power.
I'm afraid that if I offend some groups, I'm afraid there will be a reason why I have to die.
Dare you? can you? Will there be such interest groups in Ming Dynasty that are darker than those in the United States?
Zhu Houzhao shuddered, there is nothing new under the sun.
If a president like Lincoln dared to kill someone who had the power of military exploits, what else would they not dare to kill?
Then, he suddenly thought of a typical example. Song Zhezong was also a young emperor and wanted to reform...
After taking office, he began to depose some old parties. In the end... he was angry to death at the young age of 25.
Are you really mad? Is it as simple as recorded in history books?
Just like Lincoln's death, it was just an ordinary person who was ordered to kill...
Can he believe it?
[Meixuanzong Jackson: Those people are so dirty! This does seem like their method! The cost of this civil war is too great. They are using people and throwing them away like garbage! 】
[American Taizu Washington: I can't think about it...it seems almost, just a little bit, that he became Lincoln. 】
Washington felt even more frightened. He had no doubt that he would be assassinated if he wasn't smarter.
[Medicine Jefferson: Cleveland, you think of us too dirty. Could these methods be used by us Republicans? 】
Jefferson, who was born in the elite class, felt a little uncomfortable. He always felt that Cleveland was criticizing others.
[Meliezu Louis XVI: So, I said that I am not suitable to be a king. Repairing locks and making locks is so simple. I really just want to be an ordinary locksmith...]
Louis XVI was scared, and he had seen this thing too much, so he was not smart and chose to immerse himself in repairing locks, hating that he was born in an imperial family.
[Supreme Group Leader: Okay, now that Lincoln is offline. He will ask for help later. Are there any group members who need help now? 】
Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath, put aside his random thoughts, and continued to host the chat.
He wants to be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty who makes the Ming Dynasty truly great. A mere political fight is the inevitable path to take.
Louis XVI's small ambition made him despise him, and he was destined not to be the same kind of emperor.
Lincoln's incident reminded him that he should pay more attention to such things in the future.
